The most important feature, which in our
when determining the type locality is the number of its inhabitants.

population of cities in different countries is determined on its own. For example, of Denmark,
settlement could become a city if it lives at least 300man, but in Japan this figure reaches
30 000.

In Ukraine, the settlement could be
city if the number of its population will reach 12.10thousand.

Now we can define the notion
"City". At its core - a settlement. And its most essential features -
population and its activities.

Thus, town - this town, whose population

is
more than 10-12 thousand people, mostly not involved in agriculture

economy.

became the center of a great power. It housed the residence of the princes;
he was the center of economic and cultural life. His value center
Kyiv remained, except a short period, throughout the ages.
